Serious and Nearly Fatal Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon as Col. Pat Quinn
and wife were returning to Silver City, from
Virginia they met with an accident which
nearly proved fatal to both. Mr.. Quinn is
the possessor Of a very spirited horse which
he drives in a blackboard. While opposite
Fitpatrick's hotel and while driving with
great speed, a dog ran out and attempted to
bite the animals heels. This caused the
horse to give a sudden lunge sideways,
which suddenly cramped the vehicle, and
both the occupants were thrown violently to
the ground, where they were picked up BY
spectators to the accident. They were at
once removed to their residence in Silver,
and DR.. Manson OF Gold Hill summoned.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Quinn are considered Sc
riously hurt, Mr.. Quinn not being able to lie
in bed since he was hurt, and his wife re.
curing assistance to make the slightest
move. However, it is thought they will
both recover.

recitation was rendered in almost per-

ing good elocutionist. The soprano

dienee went wild over it. Both of
these ladies are well-known in musical
circles. Mr.. E. III. Lamar was quite
effective in singing "A Warrior Bold,n
considering the many fair damsels
about the room. The closing solo and
chorus, "The Torpedo and the Whale"
was beyond doubt the taking" piece
of the evening, in which Mr. John

himself. Refreshments were served,
and everybody appeared to enjoy them
selves We shall look forward to the
